Interview with Artist Major D Star

Born in Detroit, Michigan and residing in Florida, Major D-Star is an all American “Hip-

Hoppa” reaching peaks very early in his career. Since the tender age of six Major

was introduced to and heavily influenced by the likes of platinum artists Ludacris, Biggie, and

Jay-Z. Such interests turned into fascination that sparked admiration for music, especially genres

heavily inspired by life, art, and rhythm and blues.

Blessed with a supportive family, Major’s love and admiration for music grew into creative

artistry. It took some time but with determination and persistence Major recorded his first CD

when he was in 8th grade.

Relocating to Miami, Major instantly started networking with local promoters, DJs, and big

name artists. This large mixture exposed Major to better opportunities for his music career. As a

result, Major’s breakthrough came from Miami promoter Carlos Saavedra when releasing his

debut mixtape I’m So Major. Through Carlos, Major connected with artists such as Jowell &

Randy, performed on some of Miami’s hottest night club stages, from Karu & Y, Club Space, to

Nocturnal. Major created an instant buzz that opened up opportunities for Major. He has

opened for Rapper Wiz Khalifa, performed with Twista, Mystikal, and Big Sean.Major’s debut

mixtape I’m So Major received heavy praise from several hip-hop sites, and in early 2011, his

mixtape was rated #1 on Facebook
